Chapter 1346
Chapter 1346:
Jayden shook his head. “Not completely broke. But they’re hanging by a thread. It would soon be taken over by others.”
Elyse’s eyes widened. Would the Owen Group really be on the brink of collapse?
“How is that even possible? The company was established long ago and held great sway in the city. How could it be taken over by others so soon?”
Jayden leaned back in his chair, his expression unreadable. “Longevity doesn’t mean invincibility. They ignored a massive internal issue until it spiraled out of control. By the time they caught on, the damage was done.”
Elyse frowned. “Who could cause that kind of mess? Doesn’t the Owen Group have checks in place?”
Jayden’s voice turned cold. “Enzo. After I cut ties with the company, he got ambitious. He wanted a piece of the international market but had no idea what he was doing. Desperate to make a name for himself, he went rogue. Made reckless decisions and burned through company funds like it was nothing.”
Elyse was stunned. “No one stopped him? How did he get away with that?”
Jayden’s lips curled into a bitter smile. “He was untouchable. Everyone at Owen Group worshipped him. No one dared question his decisions, even when they were disastrous.”
Elyse shook her head, trying to process it. “The man who loved Owen Group the most is the one who nearly destroyed it. The irony is almost cruel.”
Jayden shrugged. “Too bad he’s not around to see it. He left them buried in debt and scrambling to survive. The legend of Enzo Owen? Shattered.”
Elyse stayed quiet, lost in thought. The weight of Enzo’s actions hung heavily in the air. The man who once protected Owen Group had unknowingly sealed its fate. If he could see what had become of his legacy, she wondered, would he regret it?
The day after his business concluded, Jayden hopped on a plane back to the city, making his punctual arrival at the Owen Group headquarters as if by clockwork.
Earlier that same morning, Debora had returned and was already waiting at the entrance, her anticipation palpable. As the clock struck four, Jayden’s sleek car rolled up to the building. He exited with purpose, striding confidently into the lobby.
Upon seeing him, Debora exhaled a sigh of relief and quickly approached, her face alight with joy. “You’re finally here!”
Jayden offered her a nod. “Take me to Brook.”
A flicker of concern crossed Debora’s face. “He’s…”
“What’s wrong?” Jayden’s frown deepened, a crease of worry marking his brow.
“The suitors for Owen Group have arrived. Brook’s tied up in negotiations with them,” Debora explained, her voice tinged with a hint of sorrow. Then, as if struck by a sudden thought, her eyes sparkled with optimism. “Jayden, would you like to join them?”
After a moment’s hesitation, Jayden replied, “I came only to see Brook. No one else.” .
